Google Pagerank - Update or Downgrade?

Since the past 10-15 days Google has been updating Pagerank. PR is updated every quarter by Google and this one has been long overdue. 

Google seems to have devalued its PR ratings accross the board. PR8 sites are now PR6, PR5 sites have become PR4 or PR3 and so on. Rumors have it that Google is coming out with an alternative ranking algorithm code named ‘Webrank’. Interestingly, the Pagerank technology patent is owned by Stanford University and is licenced to Google for use until 2009.

Is that the reason Google wants to develop it’s own alternative website ranking system and the reason for this PR downgrade? Or is Google penalizing websites for selling links? Only ‘G’ knows :)
